Ahead of its theatrical release this October, IFC Films has revealed a new poster and trailer for writer-director Demián Rugna’s Argentinian supernatural thriller When Evil Lurks.
The film centres on brothers Pedro (Ezequiel Rodríguez) and Jimmy (Demián Salomón), as they attempt to evict a victim of demonic infection from their land, but when they fail to perform the proper rites of exorcism an epidemic of possessions sweeps across their rural community.
When brothers Pedro (Ezequiel Rodríguez) and Jimmy (Demián Salomón) discover that a demonic infection has been festering in a nearby farmhouse — its very proximity poisoning the local livestock — they attempt to evict the victim from their land. Failing to adhere to the proper rites of exorcism, their reckless actions inadvertently trigger an epidemic of possessions across their rural community. Now they must outrun an encroaching evil as it corrupts and mutilates everyone it is exposed to, and enlist the aid of a wizened “cleaner,” who holds the only tools that can stop this supernatural plague.
Joining Rodríguez and Salomón in the cast of When Evil Lurks are are Silvina Sabater, Virginia Garofalo, Paula Rubinsztein, and Luis Dziembrowski.
When Evil Lurks arrives in cinemas on October 6th and streams on Shudder from October 27th.
